ah not yet. republic forces claims have taken control of a district in central mario full and the evacuation of civilians is under way. our correspondence witnessed people who were trapped in the war on city now receiving humanitarian aid. her and they asked her to approve. also, a lot of these people have lost their homes. they spent the last couple of weeks hiding in the basement. under shelling mass rally, sweep europe over, surging energy prices caused by punishing sanction slabtown russia. some government for suggesting people simply turn down their heating. when we get reaction in paris,

it's not as that should reduce our heating and reduce our consumption of petrol or other things. there are a lot of houses that may become harmful for health when it comes to energy efficiency. also, in the program, the u. k. cancel the trip of high ranking officials to india and made forest johnson's unsuccessful attempts to get the country to take action against russia. despite the pressure from the west, new delhi, stay neutral, both in the u. n. and the bilateral relations. ah, we can just begun harry moscow. mine is peter scott and wherever you're joining us from, welcome to the program. now straight to the main developments in the conflict in ukraine, the russian defense ministry has said it is achieved its primary objective in the 1st stage of its operation. that's namely reducing the capability of ukrainian

forces, which it says will lead to russia, achieving its main name, the liberation of dom bus. russian officials also stated on friday that more than $1300.00 to be soldiers have been killed with almost $4000.00 injured. while it's being claimed that the fighting in murder you pull is moving closer towards the sea . meanwhile, mass protests over soaring food, food, and fuel prices are in, in europe, caused by the crippling sanctions imposed on russia. let's 1st break down what's been happening on the ground then yes, republic forces claims have taken control over one of the districts in the center. you for fighting with ukraine, new forces on the saline that become more sporadic. and yet military is conducting a building to building search, looking for militants reportedly pretending to be civilians. meanwhile, locals claim ukrainian forces on letting people out of the city and are deliberately targeting them. and now do the woman seen in this video and her

granddaughter both have a gunshot wound to the legs and it's claimed they were attacked by the ukranian army. we heard from the daughter of that woman, but we just wanted to leave the city, at least the left bank. we will not let out. they shot both of our cause and told us to return back. so we returned back with the wounded. another has just helped us with the 1st aid. my mother has to penetrating bullet wounds. we took her to hospital, but all the windows were broken there and the poor doctors are doing everything they can. there are not sees in our neighborhood. they kicked us out. thank god, we met russian troops. they helped us to evacuate the wounded. in the, despite the difficulties more than 600 civilians, including 100 children, were reportedly evacuated yesterday from are you people that are receiving humanitarian aid and these roman casa reports on the ground?

we are now skirts of the city of mario pool here in the nest. people's republican. there are hundreds of for refugees here who managed to leave the city. some of them came by foot. so some of them are using their cars that we brought some humanitarian aid here along with the soldiers of the nest people's republic. there are food items of bread, jan foods reserves and dry goods. others also clothing here as well for those people who left their homes in a hurry. oh, well, probably with that anything just with their documents and some cash in hand. and now once again we are out in the outskirts of variables. so a lot of these people have lost their homes. they spend the last couple of weeks hiding in the basement on their shelling, but valley city level. but those than you, but i live, we were hiding in a basement near the factory right in the hot spot. if not for our men, we would have died of hunger along with our children. it's really scary now in our

city. it's in our apartment and the whole building has burned down. the shelling started and we had to hide in a basement for $23.00 days. yeah, they keep what was really pushing up. we have nowhere to go. we have lived here for 6070 years. and now we're homeless. all my relatives are now in. marry you, paul. my nephew with his 4 children are in. marry you, paul. now i can't leave before i know what happened to them. i don't know whether we will be able to go back. i hope they will rebuild at least some houses, but now as i understand so their lives are no longer in danger. but we're still hearing sounds of artillery here, but i've been told by soldiers of this area is pretty safe. now at once. they get their humanitarian aid here, they will move onwards either today or next, or to a rush as a raw stall. but at this point, their lives are no longer under threat. russia claim so besieged ukraine,

2nd largest city of harker. most of the buildings there have been completely destroyed. local authorities earlier stated that russian troops intensified their shelling of the city with more than 50 strikes being reported the previous night. with these doors between russia and ukraine going on throughout the week, both sides have started an exchange of prisoners. 11 crew members of the millennial spirit ship, which was attacked in the black sea, have returned back to moscow after been detained for a month. 7 of them didn't have any identity documents, and you can see crew members in this footage signing papers to get them. nevertheless, they had of rushes, negotiation theme says talked still have a long way to go with us who would representatives of the ukrainian delegation, talk about optimism and great progress in the negotiations. but i don't share their optimism because there is no movement on the principle positions that the russian side insists on. unfortunately, we see

a desire on the part of our ukrainian colleagues to delay the negotiations. they take their time and frankly say that they have many decision making centers who witness certain positions have to be coordinated in the interview for the b, b. c, members of the ukrainian delegation directly say that the leadership of ukraine coordinates all its positions with foreign advisors. this is quite frankly and very self revealing joe biden, who's been in europe for talks with allies, has stayed, said he only decided to run for the presidency after seeing rallies in virginia, where people carried tortures and nazi banners. i made a commitment when i ran this time, i wasn't going to run again. necessarily. i had no intention to run for president again. and until i saw most folks coming out of the field in virginia carrying torches, who carry nazi banners and literally singing the same vile rhyme

that they used in germany. in the early twenties or thirties, i should say in while the head of russia stay duma has warned the danger of us weapons ending up in the hands of ukrainian far right nationalist battalions. that is $800000000.00 worth of u. s. military equipment has started to be sent to ukraine. the battalion was named among those battalions by which do my head, the duma head of which the u. s. congress prohibits helping. meanwhile, some u. s. media outlets including cnn of use statements from the as of units in the coverage of the war that's without mentioning the groups extremist views. independent journalist and geo politics analysts, benjamin norton believes that jo biden's, criticism of domestic neo nazi movement doesn't extend to his foreign policy. you see, once again a, another example in a long history of us politicians saying something about their domestic politics and

then doing something completely different and their foreign policy. this is very common in the united states. we see liberals and progresses, claim to care about human rights and democracy, and then they violate those principles around the world because really, their commitment to progressive values ends at u. s. borders. so we see that the, the joe biden, i mean, he was involved deeply in the war on libya that destroyed the most prosperous country in africa, bringing an open air slave markets. he was involved in the war on syria, which chris grated, one of the worst men attending catastrophes on earth. but, you know, biden is basically continuing the same policy and his foreign policy so domestically he will criticize nazis. but when the u. s. empire sees it's, you know, it politically advantageous to support nazis abroad. not just in ukraine. i mean, i mentioned syria. i mentioned libya. we know that the united states is a history of arming and training these extremist far death squads that were linked

to al qaeda. and syria, and what is the equivalent of that in ukraine? dig deep java a new sra of syria and ukraine would be the a's of regiment. and we have many back pieces of evidence showing that the u. s. military has supported a is av, whilst demanding western countries send more help including lethal aids. ukraine president followed him is the lens key is being comparing the conflicts in the country with a selection of pass disasters. while speaking with israel, he compared russia's offensive to the holocaust. then in an emotional address to the u. s. congress, he referred to 911 and pearl harbor, saying his country experiences the same losses every day. and addressing japan, he vote memories of fukushima and accused germany of allowing russia to recreate the berlin wall. we got reaction from international affairs specialist. richard met hurst. i think it's, it's absurd. and for one's in my life,

i actually agree with the israeli on something. i don't think it's right to compare the situation in ukraine to the holocaust, both in nature and scale. that was quite the awkward exchange. and you know, everyone from the foreign minister to the prime minister now after the bennett, are all kind of taken aback for this bizarre comparison. and it really just comes across as crazy because he goes and does this with every country that he speaks to . ironically when he spoke to the japanese, he didn't bring up her or she will not talk to you, which are arguably the biggest tragedies and disasters. and in modern japanese history, probably because the americans, you know, drop those nuclear bombs. it's weird though, because the west already supports ukraine, so i don't know why he feels the needs lensky and his government. i don't know why they feel the need to go to these lengths to try to appease each each country. you know, hearing someone quote, martin luther king task for world war 3 is under the guise of a no fly zone. it just comes across is really weird. a 2 day european council. some

it says wrapped up in brussels. leaders met to discuss the conflict and ukraine as well as security and economic issues. they all agreed on giving their unwavering support to ukraine in the face of quote, russian aggression are cruces of the world, stand together against proteins warren. we will further increase our support to ukraine. we will sharpen our sanctions and we will break free from russian fossil fuels. european commission chief also emphasized the necessity to ensure there's no circumvention of the sanctions. you leaders focused on the idea of collective energy purchase in with french to present a manual micron, stating the war will push ukraine to be less dependent on non european countries. your so announced france, reese and turkey will launch exceptional humanitarian, opposite of operation in ukraine. moscow's demanded quotes on friendly states use

the russian currency to pay for their gas in ports was slammed by the e. u. leaders. conclusions the west is trying to lead an economic war without rules against russia. that's what the former russian president and current deputy chairman of the security council to meet you. my dear. you have claimed in an interview to archie and be an oversee. he said that the circumstances of this economic war will destroy the world's financial order. the few at the full interview will be ad today. but here's a quick preview. mr. murray, the death one does not need to be fidel castro to augusta. fidel castro can't be replaced, he was unique, vomiting do not go at all to talk about the events of 1998. let me share my observations, review even people who were born after 1990. i keep asking me as a journalist, they seem to think that i am competent to answer this question. for you are competent journalists, know everything they know more than politicians. thank you. so they keep asking me

for going back to 1998 and they mentioned the default. we have avoided the default scenario for now as we were allowed to my payments of our sovereign debt. but still, if you remember, 1998 personally, it will still remember that the rouble depreciated 4 times against the us dollar. i see, yes, it's a memory that is not easily forgotten. well, you cannot step into the same river twice. i was not related to state governments back in 1998. and so everything through the lens of a common citizen, a businessman, if you like. but the russian state and society were much less protected back then. but i remember 2000 nights in 2009 very well when i personally had to tackle the financial crisis. i also have an excellent recollection of 2014 in all the years that followed when i had to address the issues of the chairman of the russian government, every crisis is unique in its way. in 2008, we created the g 20. they want to remove russia from the g 20 now, but i remember how it was born right in front of me. the decision to create the g.

20 was collective 1st. president bush participated then barack obama. everyone was delighted that representatives from so many different countries was sitting at the same table. russia at the us, china, india, from about the g. 20 was a format that was born from consensus based on you anonymity and now they suggest removing asked from g 20. no guys, you can't do that. the j 20 was a format that was boned from consensus. and now they suggest removing us from the j 20. now guys you can't do that. you do like you asked us to join the g 7 to be the 8th member state. that's right, but it's different g 7 is your private club. and if you don't want us to be part of it, we will go and we did. we were ushered out. but this club is not important any longer . the g 20 is a different story. it was the g 20 that helped us out of the 2000 night financial crisis was happening now, however, is an economic war that the west declared against russia to quote, a french minister, they declared an economic war against russia and they're trying to waste this war

without rules, i hope that even in this situation our colleagues in the government will be able to find adequate solutions that would foster the development of our industry, including aircraft engineering, automotive industry, and the key sectors like micro electronics and mit. we'll have to deal with these issues anyway. yes, it will be harder now, but on the other hand, there is no one else we can count on this time. we will have to do everything ourselves to jeff ah. over in europe, thousands of lori drivers have hit the streets, madrid to protest against skyrocketing prices, of food and fuel and brought about by the unprecedented sanction slots on russia. ah, the demonstrators blocked the main avenue of madrid, demanding the resignation of the spanish transport minister. since rejected a $1000000000.00 euro support package that was aimed at alleviating the surgeon

fuel prices, which passed the benchmark of nearly $1.00 euros per liter. earlier this month since stringent sanctions have been imposed on russia, european countries are struggling with increasing food and fuel prices. demonstrations of also been held in germany, france, spain, and greece. with protesters throwing burning tires onto highway and blocking roads . some governments have even suggested people reduced their heating in order to cut their bills. we asked people in paris what they think of those suggestions 01 thought also i dont know at what point it is going to impact and i dont know how long will it continue. we have to see how the situation is going to evolve him or if it lasts long. it's not as that should reduce our heating and reduce our consumption of petrol or other things to his will a dollars for 1st with not just reduce heat. yes, of course, but in paris, in a small apartment, it is easy. joseph, but there are a lot of houses that may become harmful for health when it comes to energy

efficiency is i'm was to these guys, i'm not using gas already. what else can i say to you? less heating? well, we will see, since the winter is more complicated than summer, it was the situation in other countries as even worse than here in france. my boy, but we are going to play this game. we must be on, on my know, we are from land is not only europe hit by domestically increasing prices due to the sanctions over in us fuel prices have surged to their highest numbers in 14 years. inflation rate is also going through the roof. the latest data shows, inflation is at his highest in 40 years, reaching 7.9 percent. is what some people in the us had to say about the situation . not so great is it, you know, because people on a limited budget struggling with definitely concerning

that. i mean you really with a british delegation which was aiming to persuade india to take an anti russian position, canceled his trip to the country. the last moment earlier, the heads of the 2 countries discussed the ongoing conflicts in ukraine on position towards russia. bois johnson urged you to stop at hearing to a neutral position and condemned moscow's offensive to render mowdy for his parts expressed hope for a cease fire. but refused to take any action against russia. moreover, india has abstained on all united nations general assembly resolutions against russia so far. although it also didn't support a recent south african resolution on humanitarian aid. that didn't blame russia for causing the crisis. indian representative to un said the resolutions don't reflect

the crisis on the ground. while earlier we discussed india's actions with deli based journalist and author will f and p india doesn't want to play a list or, you know, become a junior partner. we need big power. this delegation was certainly enhanced to include what it appears to be rushing for, imposing sanctions on russia had the behest off need to or, and united states. so that was not agreeable. and that will not be agreeable to even get in. yeah, of course respects the you and just kind of what a application has to be you knew was you can have

a different application of you and charter for the rest and something really different for the she hour after you've seen great, you pretty at work and we haven't seen sanctions imposed on a lot of countries that have encroached on 2 sovereign nations and read it to countries under one protects to the other a form that not being punished. pakistan was also among the countries that abstained during the humanitarian aid resolution votes of the un, which i had to pakistani lieutenant general harun us lomb photos. western countries have been trying to sway pakistan to the side. i think god knew the purpose of this resolution should have b, b who many duty and age and not just the criticism off for a sham all the you and bassio's and that of the united with that of the britain. a

. d, e r. a buster does wrote a letter to the government boxed on that we should dig, stand on law against her, russia, and make our policy clear as so our government to categorically said that the best one will happen. certainly, our neutral stand of pakistan has affected the we a u. s. and you looks at boxed on and our, our prime minister took a bold decision to visit ger moscow. so i see really positive improvement in the relations between bush and fox with russia's war in ukraine, forcing more than 3 and a half 1000000 people to flee. europe has been quite to throw open its doors, but are stands in stark contrast to previous years. when people from other countries sold refuge ortiz shall davinsky has been looking into why attitudes are so different. when the war started in ukraine,

millions picked up their belongings and fled with no sense of what would come next. they were many women and children. they packed into trains cause buses or just simply walked crossing the border into countries like poland, hungary on slovakia and they were greeted with open arms. sport centers were converted into temporary refugee centers. food and water was handed out on arrival. people opened to that homes to the refugees, and governments have even offered to residency permits with working rights and accessed health care and education. it is been a huge, warm humanitarian hug. santa was even there to greet children, traumatized by the conflict

with coming here. i see if he's face the war. this is a said about i won't give you the 510 minutes maybe who helped me to minutes. smiling, thinking about the toys about the nicholas notable door. the situation was a far cry from 2015, 2016. when refugees from syria attempted to make similar journeys a oh, the demographics of refugees from syria was different. they were many more young men. they were traveling ahead to pay an easy way for their family members, but that provoked a sense of caution and fear, especially as they came from

a land where the culture and religion wilson. well, you repeat? now tales have emerged by out how those free ukraine are being filtered with not fixing the european stereotype of being held back. why i was trying to feel you. when i got to request to come on, which is called donna on the toner, we met and shoot an all out to. and what degree board do we are pushing african women also between you're also pushing all younger between well i, we only if we not on, on a white. yes. when we got closer to the quarter, there was a package. i hope i did it. you can medically school in the market disappointed us to why people on your side bendy afrikaans in gas on the middle is on the other side. so you told us we have to wait till to why people eat. so do i think we are moving? we were left here for 3 days. stories have flooded,

social media provoking the un to condemn the ugly reality of racism. they reported disturbing incidents of discrimination, violence, and racism. these acts of discrimination are unacceptable. and we are using on many channels and resources to make sure that all people are protected equally. while others have been struck by the contrast of the aid that's been given to koreans compared to the situation. say on the bellow roost border just a few months ago. you had to deal with the hostility from the authorities harassing and intimidating. you telling you that actually it's not legal help people who are crossing the border from belarus to poland. there was a state of emergency introduced no humanitarian organizations, human rights organizations, or even journalists were allowed to enter in false questions have also been asked about the aid that suddenly available when it's for white people in geo is working

with refugees in cali, demanded that centers that have been opened up to help your cranium be open to others too. that demand was slapped back. the difference is that ukrainians are in a regularized situation. all of this is raised to soul searching questions. why are alms open wide will ukrainians when the doors have been slammed, shut for others. so many times, the explanation it seems, is simple. it's very emotional for me because i see europe young people with blue eyes and blond here being sealed. this isn't a place with all due respect, you know, like iraq or afghanistan says a relatively civilized i relatively european. i have to choose those words carefully to correct. and just to put it bluntly, these are not refugees from syria. these are refugees from ukraine. they're christians, they're white. they are very similar just well,

that's all for now. feel free to head over to r t dot com for more stories in analysis. my name is peter scott and i'll be back again at the top of the hour. ah ah. oh, crazy joe biden says those are w m d f dot imminent in the ukraine. well, he would know, of course, because pulse flags are an american speciality, one of the last remaining american specialities all the way from the gulf of tonkin in vietnam through the iraq war all the way to syria. the stars and stripes

are the false flag. and then the weak, where mr and mrs. julie and i said, we're finally able to get married or be in reduced circumstances. we look at what the future holds for the new happy couple. it's all coming up on the sputnik this week with a nozzle you while you easy while fantasizing. ah. yeah. do you like yes so that yeah. rational. there was actually get the new the cousin is now watching

them for me at the table up. i peter. yeah, pull video from sheila, this is kim sylium thought, can you say a desk my phone or changing it again to your fortune pretty up maybe a lot about it more in search financially. ah ah 2 whom .
